More from The Busy Mom on Meditating on the Word – “As mothers, isn’t that what we want for our children?  That they would be like those trees that are planted by streams of water. The Bible says that this person is a person who walks in step with the Holy Spirit, who delights in the law of the Lord and who meditates on it day and night.  In our culture, the word “meditate” has taken on a bad rap.  When we think of this word, if often conjures up images of “super Christians” or someone who is involved in New Age or eastern religions.  However, the Bible talks a lot about meditating on the Word. In Psalm 2, we read about delighting in the Word and meditating on it day and night…”

And here’s some encouragement on Finding Balance in a Busy Season – something you may need to do in order to be able to prioritize some time with the Lord.

Having a Creator Changes Everything (post) – Have you ever looked up into the sky and stopped to marvel at what you see? I can’t look up at the stars in the night sky or study ocean creatures here in the pacific northwest or gaze upon the intricately formed fingers of my newborn children and believe that all this wonder, all these miracles … just happened.  For me, it takes a whole lot more faith to try and believe in evolution than it does to believe that I have a Creator.

18 Things I’ve Learned in 18 Years of Homeschooling (post) – It really is a wonder that my children are doing as well as they are when I consider my abilities or rather, disabilities.  In all seriousness though, God has taught me so much about what really matters in my homeschool.  Here are eighteen things I have learned in 18 years of homeschooling.

Finding Your Child’s Learning Style (post) – What are learning styles?  I never gave learning styles much thought until I began homeschooling my kids. I thrived in the traditional school environment (as do many teachers). Then I began to teach my dyslexic kids and my eyes were opened to a world of learning differences that I never knew existed.
